Imagine the world

Many years have passed, and the former child has grown into an international superstar. He hopes to find that kind woman and repay her.After the news was broadcast, it caused a great sensation. Someone immediately claimed that she was the female clerk, but it was revealed that she was an impostor.

After all, the star did not find a benefactor, and the burger shop has been closed for nearly ten years. Huazhenxing witnessed the whole process with his own eyes.

At the time, Huazhenxing was only five or six years old, and he had already remembered things, while the country of Jili was gradually recovering from the turmoil a few years ago, and the social order ushered in a rare period of stability.The economy has grown rapidly from the trough, and many countries and institutions have come to invest, aid construction and do business here, and many overseas people have poured into the port of Fesso.

Just a short distance from the grocery store opened a Jinnaimen fast food restaurant.It is a franchised store of a global chain and has unified requirements for the management of the food it sells. The hamburgers made the day before will not be sold overnight and will be thrown away as garbage.

In many places overseas, such garbage will be timely and specially sorted, but it is difficult to do so in the port of Fesso.There was a female clerk who gave the leftover burgers to the surrounding children. The star was one of them. He was soon picked up by scouts and brought to the youth training camp of the overseas club. It is not clear what happened later.

Those kids couldn't afford the burgers in the store, and some kids also took home the burgers given by the female clerk... After that, more and more kids waited at the back door in the middle of the night, and there were not enough burgers, and of course some people couldn't get them .The kind female clerk will explain with apology, the burgers are sold on the same day, and the business in the store is too good today...

So I don't know since when, there have always been some idle adults and children harassing customers in and outside the store.At that time, the social environment of Fesso port was relatively stable, but only in relative terms.The troublemakers are all locals, and the police rarely pay attention to this kind of thing. I'm afraid they can't manage it.

Some people don't have complex moral logic in their minds, and they often only think about the most direct cause and effect of interests. If the burgers in the store can't be sold, wouldn't the day be left?The more they have left, the more they can get... Half a year later, this fast food restaurant was closed... Many years have passed, and the female clerk has long since disappeared.

This kind of thing may not happen in other places, but in Feiso Port, Huazhenhang is not surprised at all.

Hua Zhenxing also asked old man Yang why he wanted to save himself in the first place?Old Man Yang is a man who never asks for trouble, and Phosso Harbor is a dangerous and chaotic place.As long as it doesn't involve the old man Yang himself, he will hardly intervene, and he will go around when he encounters any trouble. Why would he pick up a child from the trash can despite the hail of bullets?

The old man Yang took a sip of wine and picked up his chopsticks to eat a few small dishes. Then he said slowly: "It's not a disadvantage to support you, you have to look long-term, otherwise where can you find a smart and capable guy like you... Have you ever heard of a child bride?"

Hua Zhenxing had really heard of a child bride. It was said to be a matter of the old Dongguo society. He could not laugh or cry: "If your old man has a daughter who doesn't want to marry, it is understandable to accept me as a child bride."

Old man Yang glared at him: "What nonsense? That's called squatting in the door! The written title is entourage, and I have never heard of it being raised since I was a child... I'm just making an analogy. Live, my old man also enjoys life.”

This is true. As long as Hua Zhenxing was able to do anything at a young age, old man Yang would let him learn almost everything.Hua Zhenxing never went to school to study, but old man Yang obtained a complete set of textbooks and various teaching supplementary materials for Dongguo primary and secondary schools in the 90s and [-]s, which are said to be the most solid in terms of basic education.

Huazhenxing’s literacy was taught by old man Yang himself. Most of his enlightenment books when he was a child were various recipes, including many printed and bound books, which were rich in pictures and texts. Poor Huazhenxing at that time always thought it was a comic book.

One of the reasons why Old Man Yang is actually not stingy is that he understands the enjoyment of life very well. You can tell by looking at the recipes he has collected. The focus is on the major cuisines of Dongguo.Regarding the issue of eating, it can be sublimated from the most basic physiological needs to the most noble self-transcendence. Old man Yang considers himself a noble person.

Old man Yang has a long way to go, and Feiso Port is another cargo distribution center. He can always get all kinds of ingredients and seasonings from all over the world, especially from the East.It's not enough to want to open a restaurant, but it's more than enough for him and Hua Zhenxing to enjoy themselves.Since the age of ten, Huazhenxing has shouldered the heavy responsibility of cooking.

When he was 12 years old, old man Yang made a joke: "Now that you go to Dongguo, you can also be judged as a special first-class chef, and your cooking level is finally barely qualified."

Hua Zhenxing didn't know what the special level was, so he looked it up online.He has long been able to use the computer in Old Man Yang's shop to surf the Internet. Since then, he has owned his first smart phone, and has a regular salary every month. In the past, Old Man Yang would occasionally give some pocket money. money.

Tong Yang's buddy is also a buddy. Old man Yang not only manages food and lodging, but also pays wages.Huazhenxing, who has read recipes as comic books since he was a child, has a foundation of extensive and profound Donggu cuisine, not to mention places like Fesuogang, even the so-called various delicacies in the entire black continent are in his eyes. Pig food is about the same.

But Huazhenhang does not discriminate against pig food, and he can endure hardship very well.The recipes that Old Man Yang asked him to read were not all from Dongguo, some of them may have been written by the old man himself, even hand-painted books, which contained all kinds of materials.

The above not only introduces what can and cannot be eaten, but also what special functions they have, how to deal with them, and what occasions they can be used in.

Old man Yang also took Huazhenxing to the field many times, and taught him to identify, obtain and process various materials on the spot.Hua Zhenxing probably didn't know it himself. By the time he was a teenager, he had almost become a field survival expert and an expert on flora and fauna.

The most exasperating thing is that old man Yang not only made Hua Zhenxing read the recipes like a comic book, but also made him cook with the alchemy stove all the time.It is the kind of very simple alchemy stove, with a hearth on the bottom and a semicircular or square pot on the top. There are nine mouths in total, with different shapes, and I don't know what material they are made of.Use these nine pots for frying, frying, cooking, frying, steaming, boiling, braising, and stewing.

As long as you pay attention to the heat and the method of frying things in the Dan furnace, although it is difficult, it is not impossible, but how to steam things?Huazhenxing will find materials and process grates by himself.Some pots come with very heavy lids, and some require Huazhenxing to find materials to make a suitable new lid.

Although the Dan stove is clumsy and difficult to operate, it is still very high compared to simple cooking utensils such as earthen pots and earthen stoves used by local residents.As for the higher-end modern cookware, Huazhenxing was also out of touch when he was a child.

He has always regarded these alchemy stoves as pots and stoves!It wasn't until he was 13 years old that he had the opportunity to go to the workers' dormitory of the Dongguo-aided construction project, and saw those really useful modern cooking utensils. After trying it, he realized that cooking with his own pots and stoves was hell in comparison. difficulty.Then he searched the Internet with pictures and realized that those were not pots and stoves at all, but ancient Dan stoves from the Eastern Kingdom.

Those nine pill furnaces are antiques from the Eastern Kingdom collected by Yang Tehong, and this old man is too bad!

Hua Zhenxing was raised by old man Yang, but their relationship did not feel like a father and son, or even a grandson.The name of Hua Zhenxing was taken by the old man Yang, and he didn't have his surname Yang. As for why he was surnamed Hua, he was a Chinese from the East Kingdom.In fact, people from many countries in the East look similar, and it is not clear why the old man Yang thought at a glance that the baby was a Chinese...

Thinking of this, Hua Zhenxing suddenly realized that there was something wrong with his state. He didn't go home in the middle of the night, and actually leaned against the wall of the alley to recall the past.The contrast between the dream and reality had a great impact on him, and he was inexplicably dazed.

Looking up again, there is not a single cloud in the sky, and the stars are very bright, as if giving an illusion that as long as you stand on the roof and reach out, you can pick one off. This is indeed where he lived since he was a child.

In the same way, as long as you know the exact location, you can judge the time through the starry sky... It is now around three in the morning.There was wind, and the intermittent whining sound in the distance was like the growling of a wild dog on the grassland, and when it blew close, it was like the thorns on the porcupine's body rubbing.

Huazhenxing heard a movement not far away again, and there was a faint smell of urine in the wind. Someone passed by in the middle of the night and was looking for a corner for convenience.Immediately afterwards, he heard a gunshot, the echo was a little vague, it should be very far away.

It was time to go home, Hua Zhenxing stood up and moved his hands and feet, his somewhat stiff body gradually became soft and flexible, and then quietly left along the wall.

Chapter 005 The Light of Darkness

Old man Yang's grocery store is a small two-story building in front, and there is a yard in the back. The yard wall is some distance from the surrounding buildings. It covers an area of ​​almost [-] square meters.

Fesuo Port is not Dongguo SIPG. The land is very cheap. It is hard to say how high the housing price is for the locals, but it is definitely not high for Mr. Yang.

During the riots 15 years ago, many buildings were abandoned. Old man Yang can occupy as many places as he wants, as long as he can hold it.But old man Yang didn't take the opportunity to occupy the land. His grocery store was a small two-story building with a backyard at that time.In the past ten years or so, people have been pouring into the city from the villages of various tribes, and the port of Feisuo has become crowded again.

In the impression of the local people, although the old man Yang is a Chinese from the East, he came earlier than everyone in the neighborhood.It's as if he's ever opened a grocery store here.

Yes, throughout history, this idiom is not wrong.The average life expectancy of the local people is only in their early thirties. There is an old saying in Dongguo that "a life of seventy is rare since ancient times". It is not uncommon to live to 70 years old in Dongguo today, but in Feisuo Port, this poem is particularly accurate. .

Old man Yang has been running a grocery store here for at least 30 years.Why say at least, because the longest memory of the locals for this neighborhood is more than 30 years.Because of the war and turmoil, some people died and some people left. Old man Yang became the longest-lived resident here. He and his grocery store are like a miracle or a historical relic.

The front door of the grocery store facing the street faces north, and there is a side door to the west, which opens to the kitchen.The kitchen is huge, with nine stoves in it.Hua Zhenxing walked through the kitchen, took the stairs in the living room to the second floor, and entered his bedroom.

Many streets and alleys in Fesuo Port are not equipped with street lights, and even where there are street lights, many light bulbs are broken.Some idle bad boys like to play the game of streetlights when they have nothing to do. It is enough to break a streetlight and throw a stone, and it is difficult to wait for the maintenance personnel to fix it.

The curtains are open, and although there are no street lights outside, there is still a shimmer of light penetrating on a sunny night. If your eyes have adapted to the dark environment, you can still vaguely distinguish the outlines of some objects in the house.Hua Zhenxing suddenly felt that something was wrong, his eyes narrowed, but his neck didn't move.

Someone was hiding in the bedroom, clinging to the side of the cabinet.Hua Zhenxing didn't seem to react at all, but his mind was spinning quickly. It seems that this was not a friendly visit. Could it be that what Charles said in the bar last night was heard, and the other party thought that he was also an accomplice of Charles, so to deal with yourself?

Hua Zhenxing went straight to the bed quietly, avoiding the light and drawing the curtains.The curtains had a light-blocking layer, and when they were closed, the room turned into darkness where no fingers could be seen. He had already taken out the finger tiger and put it on his left hand.

From the lurker's point of view, he would never realize that he had been exposed.Old man Yang has taught Hua Zhenxing a long time ago. If you find someone trying to ambush you and you think you are hiding well, you must be calm in your first reaction. It is best to let the other party not know that you have found him, and then try to counteract it suddenly.

This is the advantage of striving for an information asymmetry.The other party hides and wants to attack, he knows you but you don't know him, he has the advantage of information; but you have discovered him but he does not know, you also have the advantage of information in turn, you need to make good use of this kind of information. Advantage.

At the moment when the curtains were drawn, the other party could no longer see Hua Zhenxing, but Hua Zhenxing dodged and silently reached the other side of the cabinet, with the paratrooper knife already appearing in his right hand.There is a large cabinet between him and the lurker. Even if the other party shoots, he can't hit. If he wants to use a knife, he has to go around and know his position.

At this moment, he suddenly relaxed and said with a smile: "Mr. Yang, are you not afraid that I will kill your old man with one shot?"

President Yang is what he usually calls old man Yang, and the old man likes others to call him that.Old man Yang's voice came from the other side of the cabinet: "You didn't bring a gun with you when you went out today. Did you touch the small pistol hidden behind the curtain just now?"

Huazhenxing has a pistol, which is very small and has a self-made muffler, which is hidden behind the curtain. He actually wanted to touch the gun just now when he opened the curtain, but he didn't touch it.Hua Zhenxing snorted: "So you're afraid too? I'm afraid I'll shoot you if I get nervous."

Old man Yang: "I'm just testing your reaction to see if you'll be nervous when the gun is gone."

Hua Zhenxing: "How many times have you played this trick! I'm not afraid that I will actually encounter danger in the future and think it's you trying to test it, but it's broken. Haven't you heard the story of 'the wolf is coming'?"

Hearing the voice, the old man Yang had come out from behind the cabinet: "Vigilance is actually a habit, as long as you learn to react correctly every time."

Hua Zhenxing put away the finger tiger and the paratrooper knife, and lifted two sandbags from his feet and hung them on a hook above his head. The room suddenly lit up, and at the same time, there was a faint sound of mechanical rotation.

There is a device hanging on the wall, in the shape of a bowl the size of a disc, and in the center of the disc is an LED light bulb the size of a grain of rice, which is the kind used for mobile phone flashlights.A wire string protrudes from the underside of the disc, with a hook.Two heavy sandbags were hung up, the wire rope was slowly pulled out, and the small light bulb came on.

The principle of this thing is actually not complicated, it is similar to a mechanical clock, but its power does not come from a spring, but the potential energy of a heavy object falling, and the gear set is not driven by a dial but a micro motor, and the output power is less than One watt, will be enough to light a small light bulb like that.

Its official name is 叆土典瞯缯, 烛狂, 錃笥, 荹湿, and 笃 仌, 钅 钅 钅, 钅钅, 钅, 钅, 竹蛋裧龆都都都起脚镒抱: Huanhual licking and diarrhea;

The LED lights used in mobile phones, although the power is very small, the brightness is not low. In a small area, people can see the surrounding things clearly. If they are close enough, they can even read the text on the book, which is a bit of an eyesore.

This kind of passive lighting is actually ordered in Yiwu City, Dongguo. The ex-factory price is 80 yuan in Dongguo. For large orders, it can be reduced to 60 yuan. The fund's project list is 200 meters of gold each, and it is claimed that 50 have been donated to Guli and surrounding areas, and the port of Feisuo has also been donated.

The one hanging in Huazhen’s house was taken from the store and has been disassembled and modified. The hanging object is divided into two sandbags, each weighing 10 kg, and dropped to the ground from a height of more than two meters. Light up for ten minutes. What to do after [-] minutes, you can retract the steel wire rope and continue to hang sandbags to re-light.

Port Fiso has electricity supply, but there are frequent power outages, so it is more convenient to hang such a thing in the house.Grocery stores do not receive international aid, which is exchanged by locals for money to buy things.The retail price for takeaway from the grocery store is 80 yuan, and the wholesale price is 60 yuan.

The glow of rice-grain-sized bulbs dispels the darkness and illuminates the room.There was a cabinet on the side against the wall, Hua Zhenxing stood on the side opposite the door, on the other side of the room was a window, and there was a bed on the left side of the window.

Hua Zhenxing's pistol, which was hidden behind the curtain at the head of the bed, has now been placed on the table.The table is to the right of the window, and there is only one chair in front of it.Old man Yang turned his chair around and sat facing Hua Zhenxing, and asked with his legs crossed, "What are you doing, go home and sneak like a thief?"

Hua Zhenxing: "I said hello to you before I went out, and I went to the Happy Bar with the big man Heshire."

Old man Yang: "You didn't learn to chew grass and smoke leaves from them, did you?"

Hua Zhenxing: "Of course not! I don't touch those things, I just drink."

Old man Yang pouted: "Erguotou mixed with banana wine, put it in the footbath, and a bunch of people gathered around and sucked with straw..."

Hua Zhenxing quickly interrupted: "Don't say it, it sounds disgusting."

The local characteristic "cocktail" is to use home-made banana wine mixed with some spirits such as whiskey and vodka, but now it is basically the Erguotou made in the East, because it is cheap and powerful.

After the wine is mixed, some sugar will be added to it. The taste is very strange and unpleasant, but it is very popular with the locals.They have a very popular way of drinking, which is to put the wine in a wooden tub, and then sit in a circle, each holding a long grass stalk to suck it, looking at the expression like a god-like enjoyment, drinking and talking at the same time, and often Sing.

The Erguotou that Joy Bar uses to mix "cocktails" is bought from a grocery store.There is even Maotai in the grocery store, and Huazhenhang doesn't need to go there to taste such a bad drink if he wants to drink.But the atmosphere there is different. This is completely different from the feeling of drinking small wine at home. It is easy to get excited when you drink and drink, and people in the circle will be very excited.

But after hearing what Old Man Yang said, the wooden tub for the wine was indeed the same style as the footbath he used, and he probably bought it from a grocery store.Although it was not used to wash feet, it seemed to be dirty and sticky... I don't know how it was so good at that time.

The old man Yang smiled: "You have to endure the disgust! Whose youth is not ridiculous, you have grown up and learned to go clubbing. But how much alcohol are you drinking until now?"

Hua Zhenxing: "Actually, I came back before midnight, but when I was about to get home, I somehow got drunk and slept against the wall."

Old man Yang: "You have a big heart, so remember your lessons in the future. You haven't lost anything, are you still virginity?"

Old man Yang often speaks out of shape, Hua Zhenxing replied: "I didn't lose anything, I just had a dream, such a strange dream! I actually dreamed of the world 500 years later. I planned to have a good chat with you tomorrow. Woolen cloth."

Old man Yang: "Oh, what dream? Let's talk about it now."

At this time, Hua Zhenxing felt that the wine was completely awake, and he was still very energetic, and he didn't feel sleepy at all, so he also sat down and told about the dream just now.

That dream was not like a dream at all, it was like a personal experience of transmigration. It felt like he really had such an identity, witnessed such a world, and even had such a life.

He really hopes that he is the person in his dream, living in such a world.The dream may seem absurd, but the real Fesso port is even more absurd.With this feeling, Hua Zhenxing ended the story.

Old man Yang: "Have you finished?"

Hua Zhenxing: "After that, I can't remember many places."

Old man Yang: "I can't remember how much I can say?"

Hua Zhenxing was a little embarrassed and said: "I made up many details in my brain, and I even thought about it, thinking that it should probably be the case."

The old man Yang suddenly burst out laughing so hard that Hua Zhenxing was inexplicable.

Chapter 006 has a theory

When old man Yang's laughter stopped, Hua Zhenxing asked, "Mr. Yang, what's wrong with you, are you so funny?"

Old man Yang: "I'm so happy! It seems that I didn't raise you in vain. In your mind, I can spend another 500 years!"

Hua Zhenxing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's just a dream. In the dream, you are not five hundred years old, but only 120 years old... Well, that's long enough."

Old man Yang: "There is a theory that everything in the dream is actually something you have experienced, but it is presented in a different way...Although my old man can live another 500 years, you are a bit disappointing, 15 years old Practicing Yang Yuanshu, you didn’t reach the third level until you were 20 years old, so you have no confidence in yourself, or did you not plan to work hard at all?”

Hua Zhenxing: "What are you talking about! What is nourishing the soul, what is the third layer? Dreaming is dreaming, how can you be so nonsense."

Old man Yang: "Oh, is it really nonsense? In the dream, you were 15 years old when you went to middle school and started practicing Yuanshu. You are 15 years old now. What have I taught you to practice? You have described the dream in such detail, so Reminiscing carefully, you said that you dreamed that I was practicing morning exercises, what posture was it, and which set of kung fu came from it?"

Hua Zhenxing suddenly reacted: "You taught me aerobics!"

Old man Yang slapped his thigh: "Isn't that right!"

Hua Zhenxing: "But that's not the art of nourishing the soul, isn't it?"

Old Man Yang: "Why don't you give it another name yourself? I don't object if you call it aerobics, and no one has any objection if you call it Yuan Yang. To tell you the truth, it is a combination of various schools since ancient times. Practicing Qi, guiding the essence, and simplifying it is a set of full-scale fidelity methods."

Hua Zhenxing: "The Yang Yuanshu I dreamed about is the aerobics you taught. After 500 years, it will be practiced all over the world, even in schools! Do you think it can really produce the same effect as in the dream?"

The corners of Yang's mouth were slightly raised: "Anyway, it's a dream, so go ahead and do it. As for what effect you can achieve, it depends on you. I haven't practiced when I was a child. Where can I find out, I'm still waiting. Tell me. You've been practicing for a few months, have you learned anything?"

Hua Zhenxing: "I should have started, I have a feeling."

Old Man Yang: "How do you feel?"

Hua Zhenxing "It's the feeling you said."

The old man Yang said with a wicked smile: "Isn't that the case, I'm ashamed to say it? No wonder I can't stay at home and learned to go to the bar and drink. Now that you have the feeling, you must remember the taboos I said, especially It's a ghost place like Fesuogang, you must not mess around!"

Hua Zhenxing: "Am I the kind of person who messes around? Let's not talk about this!"

A few miles country and  thumb lick craftsman S sloppy loyal porphyrin x full of small U   said  Lu over spring dissatisfaction 旌 戂 screen Γ   embarrassment τ  disadvantage    ​​jumping Γ  stir up Lang ?

Old man Yang once lamented that in the 21st century, this place is still like a melting pot of natural selection in a primitive environment.In the face of the epidemic, many local people can only rely on their own immunity to fight hard, and those who cannot bear it will die.Many people here are not smart enough in the eyes of Hua Zhenxing, and the skill points they evolved may have been added to other places.

There is a data that is generally credible. According to the sampling statistics of the World Health Organization under the United Nations, the HIV infection rate of the residents of Guinea is as high as one-third, which is almost desperate.And in a place where life expectancy is only in the early thirties, many of them die of other causes before they even get AIDS.

One of the largest aid operations by the World Health Organization in the port of Fesso is to distribute and teach condom use as much as possible.Discarded condoms can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys here.It is a joke elsewhere to say that children mistake condoms for balloons, but the children here are really playing with condoms as balloons.

Hua Zhenxing practiced the "Aerobics" or "Yuanyuan Technique" taught by old man Yang, and he already felt it.It feels light and healthy.The healthy physical function and mental state will almost inevitably lead to the eruption of desire, and the exercise method itself has the effect of stimulating desire, so the old man Yang warned him not to mess around in this ghost place.

Seeing that he didn't want to talk about this topic, the old man Yang said again: "Then let's talk about the Fesuo port in your dreams, it's really a good place, but it doesn't seem to be cool enough, it doesn't have a sci-fi sense, it's too simple.

But being able to dream that kind of effect is hard for you, a child who grew up here.I think it is not the Port of Fiso 500 years later, but rather like the Dongguo 50 years ago.Did you go to Lao Lei's place again recently, drink with him and listen to his nagging? "

Hua Zhenxing: "Listening to what you said, it's really a shadow, but the world I dreamed of was more advanced!"

The old Lei's name is Lei Yunjin. He is a senior engineer of Dongguo China Construction Group and the construction commander of the group's construction project in Fesso Port.The first modern cooking utensils that Huazhenhang saw were in the canteen of the project workers in charge of Lao Lei.

Huazhenxing can speak several languages, but he usually speaks Chinese with Old Man Yang at home, which is also his mother tongue.Lei Yunjin came to the grocery store to buy things, and when he saw Hua Zhenxing who can speak fluent Chinese, he felt very cordial, and when he heard about Hua Zhenxing's life experience, he was very concerned about him.

People on the construction site often come to buy things from the grocery store. Huazhenhang also often delivers things to the workers' dormitory. Lao Lei always pulls him into his room to eat when he sees him.Lao Lei has a small stove, and Huazhenxing specially cooked several meals for him, so Lao Lei is more willing to let the child eat together.

Lei Yunjin is 60 years old this year, and has reached the age of retirement, but firstly, the project here is not over yet, and the group's construction assistance project is also short of people, and secondly, he still wants to save money for a few more years, so he continues to work.When people are old and live in a foreign country, they like to recall the past after drinking a little wine, and they like to make various comparisons.

Fesuogang is simply incomparable to today's Dongguo in all aspects, but another topic that Lao Lei talked about the most was his own childhood and the various circumstances of his parents, and then compared to today's younger generation.
